Shashank Manu started his journey at 5am from blue line of Delhi Metro and concluded at the Brigadier Hoshiar Singh station
A man in Delhi has created a unique world record - covering all Delhi Metro stations in 15 hours 22 minutes 49 seconds. This extraordinary achievement has earned Shashank Manu a coveted place in the Guinness World Records (GWR). Hey @GWR look what just arrived, the certificate for my Guinness record of visiting all Delhi Metro stations in fastest time!Also the news of my record was prominently covered by many media outlets in India. THANK YOU! pic.twitter.com/ciIgb77ngg
Mr Manu, who works as a freelance researcher, travelled for the record-breaking attempt in April 2021. He started his ambitious journey at the crack of dawn (5am), on the blue line. Mr Manu lives travelling in the Metro, so he meticulously navigated through the city's extensive network, overcoming various challenges along the way.
Mr Manu concluded his journey at the Brigadier Hoshiar Singh station, situated on Delhi Metro's green line, at 8:30 pm on the same day.
Though Mr Manu completed the attempt more than two years ago, he received his official recognition from GWR just recently due to a minor misunderstanding. The award was earlier given to Prafull Singh, a revenue inspector with the metro, who covered all stations in 16 hours and 2 minutes on August 29, 2021. However, it was later discovered that Mr Manu had already achieved the feat on April 14, surpassing Mr Singh's time with his impressive record.
